  • Abstract
    With the advent in high-speed Internet technologies, the concept of cloud computing has become more popular. In the proposed system, users work with Cloud-based framework accessible via browser on any device, which is similar in services, applications, look and feel of an operating system. With this design, users can work from multiple devices and multiple places which are accessible to Internet over the same set of applications and files. Cloud computing makes collaboration simpler and can reduce platform-incompatibility problems. Proposed system is a interface that allows people to access applications stored completely or partly on the Cloud. Though it mimics the user interface of traditional computer operating systems, it doesn´t interact directly with the computer´s hardware as done by the typical operating system. The traditional OS on the device must exist on the mobile device in order to have the web browser which is necessary for accessing the system. This is important for people who don´t have their own computers and must work out of libraries, schools and Cyber cafes. Also, user can work, log out, and then log in later from a different computer. By giving cross-platform applications to developers, it is an easy way to access enhanced features on system helping them to embrace this as a target platform. The applications developed under this SDK will usually be cached on the client side as it should not burden the network to access it frequently thus the data intensive applications can work even if the device is offline and sync the updated data on to the Cloud. With this, we have demonstrated that there is a better way to build Cloud based operating system framework that runs in an ordinary web browser without installation or browser plug-in components, thereby supporting cloud based applications with rich user interface features and direct interaction, also enables application development for in web browser and deployment on cloud using nothing more th- n existing simple web technologies.
